Could the extra swelling and soreness be part of the rhino healing process or infection?

Asked By:yojanagt in Costa Mesa, CA

I’m 10 days away from my 3 month check-up. Everything has been healing fine until a few days ago when I started to feel a mild pulsating, pressure pain on the bridge of my nose. This has lasted for 3 days now and I’ve also noticed my nose is more sore/swollen than usual. I feel the pressure when I do something as simple as drinking water or speaking. Prior I had very little discomfort, this week I’m more sore/swollen and tighter all over my nose. Haven’t felt this much discomfort since month 1.
